There are several font files bundled to build documentation:
doc/user/junction.ttf
doc/user/lobster-1.4.otf
doc/user/static/Hack-Regular.ttf
doc/user/static/LinBiolinum_Rah.ttf
doc/user/static/LinLibertine_Rah.ttf

They are easy to exclude when packaging, but there maybe users who
install from source and may find it convenient to have a few tested
choices bundled.  Other typesetting systems seem to also distribute
fonts[1,2,3] but not all do this.
